Meditation and Beyond



"To Meditate is to exercise the mind in serious reflection." ~ Thomas Merton












Meditation, an ancient spiritual discipline, is for those who yearn for truth. A reality beyond facts and ideas found in intellectual pursuit. In the meditative state we absorb the knowledge we have taken in through our mind and have direct experience with the deeper realities of life. In the fruitful silence we reach the truest communion with God.
